I don't know about Macs, but under iOS/iPadOS you can set a Siri region to somewhere it's unsupported (e.g. Russia) to truly disable it.

It gets back about 15 gigabytes of storage and removes additional stuffs you couldn't disable by setting Screen Time options, such as the Safari Reader's gigantic "summarize" button.

I don't know about Macs, but under iOS/iPadOS you can set the Siri region to somewhere Siri is unsupported (e.g. Russia) to get back about 15 gigabytes of storage. Also when you set it to Russia, Safari Reader's gigantic "summarize" button disappears so that's another bonus.

Why is 독도 (written "竹島" in the map) depicted as a Japanese territory?

Some might say I'm bringing politics here, but the map itself is provoking strong political reactions.

I prefer software rendering, I don't use compositor, and I never will.

In software rendering, CPU only updates screen when changes are detected. And the change completes as fast as the computer can. So that's minimal latency + minimal resource consumed.

If you're on a compositor, the 3D accelerator in your computer has to update the screen 60 times every second. It's even worse when you have a higher refresh rate display. And compositors update the buffer as soon as the previous buffer is pushed after the v-sync signal, and then it just waits until the next signal comes in. So there comes the terrible input delay. As a result, it comsumes more power and has higher latency.

So in conclusion, fuck Wayland, and I'm going with xfce without compositor.

Weren't they announced that they would make Windows more user-friendly just a few days ago? Did they break their premises already?

It't true that the ThinkPad display kind of sucks. Though I can upgrade to a 2K OLED panel for additional 80 USD. That makes the E14 30 bucks more expensive than the Neo.

MacBook Neo with 512 gigabytes of storage configuration costs 1,200,000 KRW (Approx. 810 USD for reference) in my nation.

I can get ThinkPad E14 with a decent lunar lake CPU and 16 gigabytes of memory, at a slightly lower price.

So I'm not as hyped as others...

I visited change.org to sign the petition for them, only to get spammed by far-right extremist propagandas supporting nazism like this: https://imgur.com/a/E6LMUcB

I regret giving my real name and e-mail address to that website now.

Schizoid personality is not a "disorder".

Having your own ideal and philosophy and not sheepishly following corporate and government propaganda (so called "trend") is what every other person should do.

I tried wayland multiple times before, but the lack of xsct equivalent and the awful input delay (compared to X11 window managers without compositor) made my experience very frustrating. Some might say "it's just a one or two frame delay", but for me that makes a night and day difference. Just an additonal frame delay gives me a feeling of driving a 70s American boat car with worn out tires.

Clippy was the Copilot from the late 90s: A pointless annoying gimmick that disrupted everyone's workflow.

The coconut death claim is an exaggerated lie. From the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut):

"In his paper, Barss observed that in Papua New Guinea, where he was based, over a period of four years 2.5% of trauma admissions were for those injured by falling coconuts. None were fatal but he mentioned two anecdotal reports of deaths, one several years before. That figure of two deaths went on to be misquoted as 150 worldwide, based on the assumption that other places would have a similar rate of falling coconut deaths."

Stop referencing Twitter posts. The only thing I see in it is a popup that I should sign up for their platform.

It still hides your cursor though.

This is not about "lack of humanity", but about violating fundamental UX rules such as hiding your cursor at random times. It's offensive.

You don't have to sacrifice usability while expressing personality.

You get the said 10 year old chip cheaper, with lower power consumption and smaller physical size, on newer and improved fabrication methods.

I don't think machines should rely on an opaque logic to assume and "correct errors" on user input. It's more accurate to "fail" than handling out an assumed output.

And also:

> they need to supply ones specifically engineered to be uncorrelated with the right figures.

I assume most people will understand this way (including me) when it's said to "input wrong figures".

That Russian word had a useful information. It means "contrast", and that obviously implies "Increase the contrast to reveal the secret message".

Huh. Apple seemed to have finally completed their conversion to USB-C. And then they came up with yet another proprietary connector for the battery pack? That's frustrating.

I was daydreaming (just a really dumb daydream) about a 'universial language' that would include all the words from every known language, just few minutes ago before I discovered this on HN. haha.

I think it's really neat since there are thousands of foreign words that cannot be translated into English or Korean (Languages I speak), and it takes a quite of time just to really understand what those words mean.

Well, I agree that I'm really bad at arguing, but one thing for sure, it's not a trolling.

Same are these devices function, but Apple is paying for those who share their stories.

I've never seen a single article about Android devices being so durable that it survived a great disaster, or saving its owner's life from polar bear or something.

I believe it's their PR plan.

Apple is really focusing on this tell and tale kind of adversiting recently, I guess.

I have the original Pixel as my daily driver. Everything works flawlessly including banking apps.

Don't recommend anything older than Nexus 5x, they're way slower than I remember, and also I can tolerate a really slow device but not a really high touch latency.

All these phones I bought used has a decent battery life, lasts around 2 days without charging.

Can you stop posting your rage-inducing, overdramatic comments everywhere?

The reason I'm using Debian stable was to avoid these kind of problems.

I should just move on to FreeBSD.

All the articles are written by human, and the algorithm only takes the responsibility of "curating" articles.

I think it's more bizarre that these kind of stories are actually written by human.

I too can never get today's trends like Tiktok, Instagram, emojis and others. I'm 17 year old...
